Just as an update, the recently-released December 2006 issue of Comptiq featured the final, 36th chapter of Days in the Bloom. I won't spoil the ending... but suffice it to say that it took a slightly different twist. The 6th and final tank will be released on January 10th. In its place, next month's Comptiq will feature the start of the Really? Really! manga by the same mangaka (who is also working on the Tick! Tack! -Never Say Goodbye- manga serialized in Comptiq Ace magazine). So, one Shuffle! manga ends, and another begins...

You know it's even more fustrating that I have decembers issue of Computek and I'm up to volume 5 but there's like this huge gap between the two so I can't read the last chapter of it in the magazine ;.;

Anyone know if a sixth volume of the ala carte doujinshis will be released?

Well, you won't have to wait long, since the 6th tank for Days in the Bloom comes out next month. And I suppose it's entirely possible that there may be another volume of à la carte, but since it's been over a year since the last tank (while it was active, they released every few months), it may simply be over too.

Rin confesses his love to Sia and she reciprocates. Eventually (as per Sia's game ending), Kikyou's personality emerges and she hurts Rin, but in spite of being hurt, he accepts her and gives her her name ("Kikyou"), so she finally feels validated as a person. Sia realizes that both she and Kikyou are in love with Rin, and so they decide that all three of them should be together. Diverging from the game, though, in the final chapter, Kikyou gets her own actual body, and they decide that they should also share Rin with all the rest of the girls too. The story ends with all the girls basically admitting they're in love with Rin, and Sia and Kikyou being totally okay with it (they've got no issue with polygamy after all... )

Whoa... All I got to say to that is...

Spoiler:

Really, it's no different from the ending of the anime, in which the girl Rin loves is totally okay with the other girls admitting their love for Rin. I was hoping for something more conclusive, but it's still an interesting twist.

I didn't play Shuffle! On The Stage, but this screenshot seems to suggest that it also happened in the PS2 version.

Within the context of the Shuffle universe I don't know how realistic that is.

Spoiler:

At least one of the three major cultures practices polygamy (I can't remember, do the Demons also do that? I never played the Nerine section of the game). From Kareha and Sia's perspective at least there should be no reason to give up on the main character - they just need to convince whichever partner he has to accept them as well. Even without the cultural upbringing, they went out of their way to show that Nerine didn't mind sharing either. Since it's been some time since the initial gate has opened, you have to expect that this belief has had some impact on Earth conventions as well in the sense that if the main character ends up with a being of the God race, Kaede and Asa must know they could still have a shot as well (since they already know that that the initial harem-ette has been raised not to mind sharing). Really I thought this was the most original and well thought out part of the series. And, of course, they pretty much totally ignored it.

This is beside the whole fact that they're in high school, it's not like he married her or anything. They're one missed date away from him being back on the market anyway.

The novels are just that... novels - which means 99% kanji/kana with maybe one drawing per chapter or less.... like most novels use to be. No one working on a translation I know of.
Even the manga scanlations seem to have pittered off (though there could always be an active scanlating group I've missed).
